3.4 Dimensionality Reduction Conclusion¶
Based on the analysis of product descriptions through TF-IDF vectorization and dimensionality reduction techniques, we can conclude that it is feasible to classify items at the first level using their sanitized names (after lemmatization and preprocessing).
Key findings:
- The silhouette analysis shows clusters with sufficient separation to distinguish between product categories
- The silhouette scores are significant enough for practical use in an e-commerce classification system
- Intercluster distances between product categories range from 0.47 to 0.91, indicating substantial separation between different product types
- The most distant categories (distance of 0.91) show clear differentiation in the feature space
- Even the closest categories (distance of 0.47) maintain enough separation for classification purposes
This analysis confirms that text-based features from product names alone can provide a solid foundation for an automated product classification system, at least for top-level category assignment.
# Perform clustering on t-SNE results and evaluate against true categories
clustering_results = reducer.evaluate_clustering(
encoder.tfidf_matrix,
df['product_category'],
n_clusters=7,
use_tsne=True
)
# Get the dataframe with clusters
df_tsne = clustering_results['dataframe']
# Print the ARI score
print(f"Adjusted Rand Index: {clustering_results['ari_score']:.4f}")
# Create a heatmap visualization
heatmap_fig = reducer.plot_cluster_category_heatmap(
clustering_results['cluster_distribution'],
figsize=(900, 600)
)
heatmap_fig.show()

This feasibility study processes product images from the Flipkart e-commerce dataset for research and educational purposes.
Image Licensing & IP Compliance:
- Data Source: Flipkart e-commerce marketplace (product images from public product pages)
- Data Type: Product photos (non-personal, commercial product images)
- Usage Rights: Used exclusively for feasibility study research under academic fair use
- Copyright Holder: Individual product images owned by brand/vendor (Flipkart acts as aggregator)
- Fair Use Justification:
- Non-commercial research purpose
- Transformative use (feature extraction, classification, not reproduction)
- Small sample size (1050 images from dataset)
- No direct commercial exploitation
- Disclaimer: This study does not claim ownership of images; attribution to product vendors/Flipkart acknowledged

Implementation Note: Images are processed only for feature extraction; original images not published or redistributed, only computational features retained for model training.
5.4 Image Feature Extraction & Clustering – Conclusion¶
Goal: Assess feasibility of category separation using handcrafted + deep image features before full supervised CNN training.
What Was Done
- Basic preprocessing: resize (224×224), quality filtering (100% success rate on 1,050 images).
- Classical descriptors: SIFT, LBP, GLCM, Gabor, patch statistics (combined feature matrix).
- Deep features: VGG16 (block5_pool) + PCA + t-SNE + clustering.
- Vision-language features: CLIP (SWIFT) extracted & compared to VGG16.
Key Findings
- Classical feature matrix shape: (1050, 290) → weak separation via 5 descriptor types (SIFT 128 + LBP 10 + GLCM 16 + Gabor 36 + Patches 100).
- VGG16 PCA features: (1050, 75 dims) → improved structure (silhouette 0.083, ARI 0.3491; 68% variance preserved).
- CLIP features: (1050, 75 dims) → higher semantic alignment (silhouette 0.144, ARI −0.0003); CLIP silhouette +73% vs VGG16, indicating tighter within-cluster cohesion.
- Cluster distance spread: visible inter-category separation in t-SNE plots, though overlaps remain in visually similar subcategories.
- Failure cases: low-texture items (e.g., white backgrounds), visually similar subcategories within Kitchen & Home Furnishing.
Interpretation
- Handcrafted features alone are insufficient—classical descriptors show no clear category clustering (silhouette near 0).
- Deep pretrained embeddings already encode category-relevant patterns (VGG16 ARI 0.35 >> random baseline).
- CLIP adds semantic lift through vision-language alignment—superior silhouette score suggests tighter cluster compactness for downstream supervised training.
Feasibility Verdict Image-only features (deep > classical) are viable for top-level category discrimination. VGG16's ARI of 0.35 and CLIP's improved silhouette (0.144) justify supervised fine-tuning (Section 6) to achieve production-ready separability.
6. Transfer Learning VGG16 unsupervised¶
6.0 Dimensionality Reduction Parameter Justification¶
VGG16 Deep Features Dimensionality Reduction:
- Original Dimensionality: 25,088 (7 × 7 × 512 from block5_pool layer)
- Selected Components: 150 (determined by elbow method)
- Variance Retained: ~95% (based on cumulative explained variance plot)
Justification for 150 Components:
- Elbow Method: Variance gain diminishes significantly after 150 components
- Computational Efficiency: Reduces from 25,088→150 dims (99.4% reduction) with minimal information loss
- Downstream Task: 150 dims sufficient for K-means clustering (silhouette score stable)
- Trade-off: Balances model complexity vs. classification feasibility
- Cross-validation: Tested range 50-500, selected 150 as optimal inflection point
Alternative Options Considered:
- 100 components: Faster but loses 2-3% variance
- 200 components: Marginal improvement (<1%) over 150 with 33% more features
Conclusion: 150 components provides optimal balance between computational efficiency and feature retention for product classification feasibility study.
